Leucas samhaensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is endemic to the island of Samhah in Yemen's Socotra Archipelago. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. [1]
The beluga whale is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus Delphinapterus. It is also known as the white whale, as it is the only cetacean to regularly occur with this colour; the sea canary, due to its high-pitched calls; and the melonhead, though that more commonly refers to the melon-headed whale, which is an oceanic dolphin.
The bull shark, also known as the Zambezi shark in Africa and Lake Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua, is a species of requiem shark commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. It is known for its aggressive nature, and presence mainly in warm, shallow brackish and freshwater systems including estuaries and (usually) lower reaches of rivers. This aggressive nature is a reason for its population being listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Shark-culling occurs near beaches to protect beachgoers, which is one of the causes of bull shark populations continuing to decrease.
Leonotis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. One species, Leonotis nepetifolia, is native to tropical Africa and southern India. It is naturalized throughout most of the tropics. The other species are endemic to southern + eastern Africa.
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa.
The Ganges shark is a critically endangered species of requiem shark found in the Ganges River and the Brahmaputra River of India and Bangladesh. It is often confused with the more common bull shark, which also inhabits the Ganges River and is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Ganges shark. The genus is currently considered to contain three recent species; genetic evidence has shown that both the Borneo river shark and Irrawaddy river shark should be regarded as synonyms of the Ganges shark, expanding the range of the species to Pakistan, Myanmar, Borneo, and Java. While the other members of the genus Glyphis occur in coastal marine waters as well as rivers, the Ganges shark is found only in fresh water, making it the world's only exclusively freshwater shark. The species remains poorly known and very rare.
Leucas is a genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae, first described by Robert Brown in 1810. It contains over 200 species, widespread over much of Africa, and southern and eastern Asia with a few species in Queensland and on various islands in the Indian Ocean.
The Cumberland Sound belugas are a distinct population of belugas residing in the Cumberland Sound region of the Labrador Sea off the coast of Nunavut, Canada Individuals of this population reside in the sound year-round, congregating in its extreme north exclusively at Clearwater Fjord during the summer for calving. The Cumberland Sound beluga population is considered fairly isolated and genetically distinct from other beluga populations, with a notable number of haplotypes and microsatellite loci not found elsewhere.
The pigeye shark or Java shark is an uncommon species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, found in the warm coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic and western Indo-Pacific. It prefers shallow, murky environments with soft bottoms, and tends to roam within a fairly localised area. With its bulky grey body, small eyes, and short, blunt snout, the pigeye shark looks almost identical to the better-known bull shark. The two species differ in vertebral count, the relative sizes of the dorsal fins, and other subtle traits. This shark typically reaches lengths of 1.9–2.5 m (6.2–8.2 ft).
Leucas flagellifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is endemic to Socotra. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The scientific name has been misspelt as Leucas flagellifolia.
Leucas hagghierensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It endemic to the central and western Hajhir Mountains on the island of Socotra in Yemen. Its natural habitat is dense submontane semi-deciduous thicket around granite pinnacles from 1,050 to 1,500 metres elevation.
Leucas kishenensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is a shrub endemic to the Hajhir Mountains of Socotra island in Yemen, where it grows in open semi-deciduous shrubland on granite from 650 to 1,000 metres elevation.
Leucas penduliflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Leucas spiculifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found only in Yemen. Its natural habitat is rocky areas.
Leucas virgata is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is endemic to the island of Socotra in Yemen. It is common and widespread in open shrubland and drought-deciduous woodland on the island's limestone plateaus from 100 to 700 metres elevation.
Begonia samhaensis is a species in the family Begoniaceae. Similar to Begonia socotrana but separated by the asymmetrically ovate leaves and the unequal tepals in the male flowers; outer tepals broadly orbicular, 1.5–2.2 × 1.7–2.5 cm; inner obovate elliptic, 1.4–2.0 × 0.8 × 1.4 cm.
Protesilaus glaucolaus is a species of butterfly found in the Neotropical realm
Pristurus samhaensis is a species of lizard in the Sphaerodactylidae family found on Samhah and Darsah islands.
